I just returned from a very quick jaunt to southern California to accompany my grandmother around San Diego after attending her 70th high school reunion. Â Since many of her friends have passed over the years, she is not sure if she will be returning to her hometown after this trip, so she wanted to be certain to see all of the places she had been so familiar with growing up. Â Wow, what a trip down memory lane for her! Â We visited three of her previous homes, including a home she and my grandfather built by themselves over the course of about 15 years before my grandfather was killed in a dune buggy accident when my mom was 18. Â We headed through Balboa Park, Harbor Island, Point Loma, Rosecrans National Cemetery (where both of my grandfathers are buried), La Jolla (Cove and Shores) and downtown. Â We got a lot accomplished in a way-too-short four day period and I even managed to sneak in some pictures along the way. Â I will be referring to these pictures throughout the cold and icy winter months here in St. Louis!
